You can also see how bad he / she really wants to get rid of them. I just bought 12,000 cards (variety from junkcard era of 1980 - present) from someone on craiglist for $25- more importantly they are organized, an a good portion of them in 9 cardd sheets. Originally had them listed for $125. I sent a message and said "I'll gie ya $10 to take them off your hands" After a couple more messages we agreed to $25.
Im pulling cards to fill holes in sets and also removing the cards from the 9 caard sheets tio re-use them. Figured can't go wrong for $25. Im findind i have lots of holes to fill as well.
So..... send a message and let him know you are willing to take them off his / her hand for $10 and let the bartering begin. What;s it going to hurt -- you are already at No to begin with.

Please Please Please read my profile before making a trade proposal. My "wants" for my Cardinals collection is accurate from 1900 - 2008. I still have about 12,000Plus Cardinals cards from 2009-present to sort through and enter. Please do not offer any Cardinals cards from 2008-present unless you contact me first as there is a chance I already have it amongst the multitude to still go through.
I still have about 30K Cardinals duplicates that are not yet entered in the database as FS/FT.
